Some fit-tastic workout tips

Do these moves one after another with no rest in between. Repeat the circuit a total of three times, resting one minute between each circuit.

1. Squat: Stand with your feet hip-width apart, holding dumbbells at your sides. Squat down as if you're sitting into a chair until your thighs are nearly parallel to the floor, keeping your knees from jutting past your toes. Slowly return to the starting position. Do 12 to 15 reps.

2. Chest press: Lie back on an exercise bench and hold the dumbbells over your chest at arm's length. Your palms should be turned slightly inward. Lower your arms until the weights are even with your chest. Press back to the starting position. Do 12 to 15 reps.

4. Bicycle: Lie on your back, knees bent 90 degrees and legs lifted so calves are parallel to the floor. With your hands behind your head, lift your right shoulder off the floor and curl toward your left knee as you extend your right leg. Then curl toward your right knee as you bend itand extend your left leg. Imagine leading with your shoulder, not your elbow. Don't pull up on your head; make your abs do the work. Alternate this way for 12 to 15 reps per side.

Perform the following four moves as a circuit: Do one for 20 seconds, rest for 10 seconds, and then move on to the next. Repeat twice. To increase difficulty, do the exercises for 30 seconds but keep the resting time the same. This finisher will take about five minutes.
